Yesterday, 12 Senate Republicans sided with Democrats, to officially block President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency for a border wall.
It’s the first time in US history that Congress has voted to terminate a president’s national emergency declaration. Thankfully, 41 of the
Senate’s 53 Republicans voted with the President and that’s enough to sustain the veto Trump has promised.

The fact is, there is an emergency on our border, with more and more illegals entering our country each day. On Friday, Angel parents will join
Trump as he vetoes the congressional bill blocking his emergency declaration. They, including the men and women working as Border Patrol Agents, know
that something needs to be done.

Is the US-Mexico border already at breaking point?

The US Department of Homeland Security announced this week that February was the busiest month for apprehensions at the US-Mexico border since
April 2008, a staggering increase driven by Central American families.

The border infrastructure was built to respond to adult males traveling by themselves, not thousands of families. McAleenan said: “The
system is well beyond capacity, and remains at the breaking point.”

People continue to whine that Trump is focusing on deterring people from coming, instead of addressing the factors that motivate people to flee their
homes. Sorry, but our President's job is to protect the well being of the American people, not worrying about the social and economic problems
concerning other countries. We need money not only for a wall, but also more technology and additional personnel to curb this illegal traffic.
Illegals enter into our country each day unchecked, as shown in the video below, that was posted on YouTube last night. Why do the Democrats
(and the 12 Republicans) who voted against Trump refuse to believe this is an emergency? Many Americans do!

Agree on a wall: Americans want consensus, not partisan preening

Democrats may think that opposing a “wall” is good electoral politics for 2020. It’s not. Moderate, centrist, independent-mind
Americans want robust border security. Staking their party’s future to a refusal to put up as impenetrable a barrier as is needed on our
Southern border is bad politics for the Democratic Party.

If this is truly a national emergency then why not treat it as you would a home invasion and shoot them on the spot? Doesn't have to be a fatal wound,
just enough to slow them down and make a point.

US government is working for the enemy, that's why. This is well shown in the Senate's vote, here.

Shoot the invaders, you'll get arrested or shot by the people you pay to protect you from the people you're protecting yourself from.

I'm just going to offer this here....
Trump is never getting his wall.
I'll bet money on it.

Then the republic is lost. Hope you like the living conditions in Mexico, Venezuela, or when the USSR folded under its unsustainable economy policies.
Or the medical system of Cuba, the free healthcare as long as you state how great the fearless leader is.

Oh well. This is apparently what everyone wants. So when these lawless criminals start killing you and your family...oh well. I really dont care
anymore. As for myself, I will always protect my family, my property and myself by any means necessary. Enjoy your USA, its what you want and by GOD
youre gonna get it.

Never said i didnt care.
I care
Just dont think it is the biggest issue right now.

So cause i say something about the time that means i dont care?
If you say so

So what is the biggest issue then? The last bill I heard the Dems in the house trying to push through was requiring all older men to report each time
they ejaculate. Is that what's more important to you and if not then educate me, please.
